SUMMER OLYMPICS 2012The Summer Olympics are only a month away. With our students at camp and with the excitement of these Olympic games, it's a great time to encourage our campers (and staff) to be their best. We can find ways to motivate them to be more active, persevere when challenges arise, and be a leader.
The Teacher Center at the Jewish Education Center of Cleveland has put together this wiki as a way for all of us to share the excitement of the Summer Olympics. Please post the stories you share with your campers, videos you watch, conversations you have.
If you are interested in the bulletin board materials below, feel free to contact us at teachers@jecc.org.
Thank you and and happy posting.
